I would like to thank the Officers and Committee for the judging appointment and for their hospitality on the day, the lovely gifts, also my stewards Alison and Callie and not least the competitors for a lovely entry and for allowing me the opportunity to go over their dogs. I was pleased with my final line ups, some close decisions particularly in the two hotly contested Junior classes where all the placed dogs and bitches could change places on another day. I felt my top winners all met the breed standard in that they would be capable of getting to ground and have the strength and stamina to do a good days work if called upon. There were a few with acceptable level bites, all tails were good, one or two could have been a little cleaner, some that would have benefitted from better coat tidying and presentation and surprisingly one with undescended testicles. However I felt that I was presented with some good representatives of the breed to have the pleasure to go over.

1st - Hemlockstone Nimrod (Mr R H & Miss J A Bryan & Pounder)
light grizzle 8mnths of good type and size, built on narrow, racy lines, moved well both ways and covered the ground well going around, masculine good head, nothing overdone, keen expression from nicely shaped dark eye. He had a good double coat if a little soft and plenty of loose pelt, but I heard afterwards that he had been bathed the day before due to rolling in something smelly !c Couldn’t find anything not to like about this pup and well deserved BPD,BPIS.
